Early Life

Born on July 26, 1967, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England, Jason Statham spent his childhood in Great Yarmouth, a coastal town in the UK. His mother, Eileen, pursued a career as a dancer, and his father, Barry, worked in street vending. Statham participated in football at his local grammar school. Prior to achieving fame as an action star, he dedicated over a decade to diving and was part of the National Diving Squad for Great Britain. He qualified for the British Olympic team and competed in Seoul, Korea, during the 1988 Olympics. Additionally, he dove for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Following a series of unsatisfactory outcomes in the Olympic Trials and Championships, he shifted his focus to pursuing a career in acting and modeling.

Acting Career

Spotted by an agent in 1998, Jason’s on-screen career began to soar nearly immediately. In his early days, he also dabbled in modeling for the French Connection clothing brand and was later discovered by Guy Ritchie. Ritchie cast him in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels,” which went on to earn over $80 million at the box office and marked the beginning of Jason’s Hollywood journey. The actor reunited with Ritchie again, portraying the character Turkish in the 2000 film “Snatch,” which garnered over $80 million in box office receipts featuring stars like Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro. Throughout the early 2000s, Statham appeared in various films such as “The One” and “Ghosts of Mars,” but it was the action film “The Transporter” that propelled him to household fame. For this project, he insisted on performing all of his stunts and prepared by training in karate, Wing Chun kung fu, and kickboxing. “The Transporter” ultimately led to two sequels, a reboot, and a television series. In 2005, Ritchie offered Statham another lead role in “Revolver,” but it ended up being both a critical and box office disappointment. However, in 2008, his performances in “The Bank Job” and “Death Race” received significant acclaim, solidifying his status as an action star.

In 2010, he participated in “The Expendables,” an ensemble action project featuring Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke. The film debuted at #1 across the U.S., UK, China, and India. Following this, Statham landed a role in 2011’s “The Mechanic,” which received positive reviews. He returned to British cinema with the police drama “Blitz.” Around this same period, he took on lead antagonist roles in “The Italian Job” and “Cellular.” His subsequent movie, “Killer Elite,” faced criticism from reviewers and resulted in a financial loss. Statham returned to reprise his role in the sequel to “The Expendables” in 2012, and in 2014, he appeared in “The Expendables 3.” While the sequels were met with negative reviews, they still achieved impressive box office success. Statham showcased his comedic talent in the action-comedy “Spy,” alongside an ensemble cast that included Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne, ultimately earning him a nomination for a Critic’s Choice Award for best comedic actor.

In late 2016, the follow-up to his 2011 film “The Mechanic” was released under the name “Mechanic: Resurrection.” This film proved to be a financial success, earning over $109.4 million globally. In February 2017, he appeared alongside Gal Gadot in a Wix.com commercial for Super Bowl LI, achieving more than 22 million user impressions. Although “Spy 2” was confirmed in 2018, director Paul Feig mentioned there has been little interest from the studio regarding the film. In August 2018, Statham took on the lead role of Captain Jonas Taylor in “The Meg,” an action horror film.

Additionally, Statham has featured in three installments of the “Fast and Furious” franchise and reprised his portrayal of Deckhard Shaw in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” His performance in the latter was met with critical acclaim, and it achieved significant commercial success, becoming the tenth highest-grossing film of 2019. He made his return to the franchise with “F9” in 2021 and again in “Fast X” in 2023. Statham also reprised his role as Jonas Taylor in the sequel, “Meg 2: The Trench,” in 2023.

Personal Life

Since 2010, Jason has been in a relationship with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. They became engaged in 2016, and their first child was born in 2017, followed by a daughter in February 2022. The family currently lives in Beverly Hills.

Statham was honored in 2014 with induction into the International Sports Hall of Fame.

He championed the cause for a dedicated category for stunt performers at the Academy Awards in 2015, highlighting their often-overlooked talent. In his leisure hours, Jason enjoys engaging in rock climbing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing.

Real Estate

In 2009, Jason purchased an oceanfront property in Malibu, California for $10.6 million, which he later sold in January 2020 for $18.5 million.

He acquired a home in Hollywood Hills from Ben Stiller for $7.3 million in 2011, selling it to “The Big Bang Theory” actor Johnny Galecki in 2015 for $9.2 million. This property was previously owned by the renowned session drummer Hal Blaine.

In 2015, Jason and Rosie invested $2.7 million in a house above the Sunset Strip, which was listed for $7 million in 2020 after renovations. Their primary residence, located in Beverly Hills, cost them $13 million.
